104.3 JACK FM has a not-so-secret obsession with time travel. We discovered this love back in the 80’s with Back to The Future, and it continues now with Hot Tub Time Machine, the latest flick from MGM pictures releasing Friday, March 26th.

The movie sets on the premise of 3 friends (John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson) and a young kid (Clark Duke) related to somebody in the movie or maybe a few people; we don’t want to give it all away… who are ready to get away for the weekend when they stumble upon their old vacation site, not quite the way they remembered it.

They hop in a Hot Tub, apparently also a time machine, bringing them back to the days of Duran Duran, INXS, Poison, Motley Crue and everything else 1986 like Jheri Curls, Leg Warmers and ridiculous outfits.

We don’t want to give away everything else, but there are some laughs, tears, scandals, bathroom scenes, bear costumes, and “Great White Buffalo” references that we’re still figuring out.

JACK sat down with the cast of the film, and here’s our first set with Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson. We loved them in the Heartbreak Kid and The Office respectively. You’ll love them here. Just try not to get too dizzy. Our camera woman had a few bloody maries before the shoot.

Need privacy for racy or embarrassing texts? TigerText is what you need! No need to end up like that famous golfer, with TigerText your text messages will self destruct for you. This app for iPhones lets your messages self destruct as soon as 60 seconds after the message is received.

The name of the company apparently has nothing to do with the recent Tiger Woods scandal but that the publicity sure does help. For $1.49 a month Tiger could have saved himself a lot of trouble.

The TigerText website says, “TigerText is different because, even though it looks and feels identical to a normal text message, the content of your message is never sent to the recipient’s phone and you control when the message is deleted from our server so you control the lifespan of the message!”

TigerText is only offered to the iPhone and iPod Touch but will be available to Blackberry and Android phones soon.

One of the America’s highest grossing musical acts is returning to Chicago.  On Saturday June 19th, rock/country/folk group The Eagles will be headlining a show at Soldier field with special guest stars The Dixie Chicks and Keith Urban.

Tickets can be purchased through www.ticketmaster.com on March 29th, at 10:oo am.  Don’t miss your chance to see one of the world’s greatest guitar players, Joe Walsh, tear up the turf while Da Bears are away this June.

JACK will be packing some free tickets in the near future. Keep those eyes and ears open.

Raizo (Rain) is raised as a child by a clan of ninjas to become one of the deadliest Special Ops ninja assassins in the world. But after his girlfriend (also a ninja) is killed for being a traitor, he begins to harbor resentment towards the clan until he can become strong enough to defeat them.

This crazy ninja-action film is filled to the brim with martial arts and katana sword fights. The film has received mediocre reviews, mainly dealing with the lack of an overall “plot”.
